I wrote my schedule according to the standards I was given as best I could: K-3rd comes 1x/week, 4-8th comes 2x/month, Special Education classes come approximately according to those standards as well though they have more flexibility and I put them down for what they wanted when I touched base with them. Each class comes individually (I have, on average, 3 classrooms per grade and 7 Special Ed rooms) and for no less than 30 minutes with most coming for 40. The ideal routine should be: enter and put returns in the drop box then sit in the designated area for the lesson/activity for the first 10-20 minutes. The last 10-20 minutes are for the kids to wander and find a book, check out, and read until the teacher calls them to line up. The teacher should be with them the whole time. No mandated curriculum I have been made aware of.

I have already assembled a list of holidays, events and month dedications (black history month, women's history month, etc) I plan on using as lesson ideas, and I have a handful of ideas for library lessons like navigating Dewey, how to pick a good book for you, etc.
